Topic: Emile Heskey

[Hazell]

Nice little interview in the Guardian with him today:

http://www.theguardian.com/football/video/2015/jan/22/emile-heskey-video-interview-liverpool-bolton

[Keith Lard]

He just comes across as such a lovely, shy, friendly chap. Who wouldn't want to have a friend like him!?

[Mutton Geoff]

Loved the guy and glad he got a standing ovation when he was subbed!

[PhaseOfPlay]

I trained a player who was at one of his later clubs when he was there (but they weren't on the first team). They said he wasn't just one of the nicest football people they'd met, but one of the nicest people they'd met, full stop. A great ambassador for the club, and looking back at that 2 year period from 2000-2002, you can't help but still cheer when he thunders a ball into the back of the net, and wheels away doing that DJ celebration. A proper player, and a proper Liverpool player. Glad he got a good welcome and ovation when he went off in the Cup game.

Excellent, thanks Jason!  I'll be watching through those later today.

Heskey was a player I always liked and in my view he was unfairly criticised for not scoring enough goals.  As a strike partner for Owen he was great.

Heskey was a player I always liked and in my view he was unfairly criticised for not scoring enough goals.  As a strike partner for Owen he was great.

The game that maybe summed him up best was a 3-1 win over Villa in early 00/01. Owen scored a first half hat trick and Heskey assisted them all, one with a flick on, one with him pulling wide and crossing…can’t remember the third! Definitely very selfless for us although he lead the attack at times in the Autumn of that season. Scored some belters.

And without seeing it back, that Super Cup goal v Bayern was like something the original Ronaldo would have scored. Great strength and pace and a silky finish.

Think by the time he left it was probably best for all parties but he was a really handy player for us.

Shame for him he was sold before Rafa was appointed.....he'd have a dream player for Rafa!

hadn’t thought of it like that and looking back he’d have been very important for us given the ongoing injuries to our strikers in 04/05.

[Kalito]

Absolutely.

He'd have been a perfect foil for the way we played under Rafa and also for Ciise, Baros, Mellor, Garcia.

And he'd have had a lovely shiny European Cup winners medal.
